The Farthest Thunder That I Heard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIHJKLMLNOHO| The farthest thunder that I heard | A |
| Was nearer than the sky | B |
| And rumbles still though torrid noons | C |
| Have lain their missiles by | B |
| The lightning that preceded it | D |
| Struck no one but myself | E |
| But I would not exchange the bolt | F |
| For all the rest of life | G |
| Indebtedness to oxygen | H |
| The chemist may repay | I |
| But not the obligation | H |
| To electricity | J |
| It founds the homes and decks the days | K |
| And every clamor bright | L |
| Is but the gleam concomitant | M |
| Of that waylaying light | L |
| The thought is quiet as a flake | N |
| A crash without a sound | O |
| How life's reverberation | H |
| Its explanation found | O |
